I have a theory on how the rumour started:

 

[Eddie Dean]

Lol!

Im' sorry, but this is Lex.......... BILLY ZANE

Do you have any pictures of him without hair?

 

[Ursa]

Some people here just care about appearance, and can't see beyond obvious, like a bald actor to play a bald character, even if this "actor" is terrible.

 

[chumchees]

Appearance is everything, I vote for Vin Diesel.

Seriously, crying with laughter

COOPER..............but............but.............he's suppose to be "The Flash" ............god I hope this is just a terrible joke cause Cooper will 110% guarantee be a terrible Lex

 

[HighFivingMF]

COOPER..............but............but.............he's suppose to be "The Flash"

There are about 0 reasons he can't do both.

 

[Lily Adler]

At least with Cooper there won't be homo-erotic subtext with Henry, right.

Mark Strong was Sinestro.

The lack of an actual Flash movie is a reason.


The project is dead. Green Lantern's collosal failure killed it.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Dunno about Cooper. I think his voice might not be exactly what I imagine for Luthor. Not that there's anything wrong with his voice per se.

 

[elgaz]

I'd agree. I imagine Luthor's voice as somewhat deep, but slow, measured, sinister at times. He's the epitome of confidence and suave charm. I never really get that sense from Cooper's voice.

I dunno, the guy has a smugness that makes him a little unlikeable at times, but I still would find it hard to buy him as a villain. I think the problem is he just doesn't exude any danger; he's more of the unlikable jock type (like his early roles) rather than someone who could actually do serious damage to our hero.

Billy Zane really does have an exceptional look for the role of Luthor, just a pity he can't act.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Maybe Cooper can give Zane an acting transplant

 

[elgaz]

I still find it kind of strange that Jon Hamm could theoretically work as Lex, whilst people also wanted him for Superman. Not many actors could slip into both roles.

I think he'd play off nicely against Cavill.
